10mm CZ-97B

I don't really see it being much of an advantage over my Witness Elite Match, but some guys have brand preference.  Cool though.

I think there's more enthusiasm for the 10mm Auto than we sometimes realize.  There can never be too many platform options.  Like sqlbullet said;  "...some guys have brand preference."  I would say that's as much true for the ammo as it is for the platforms.

While I was at the NRA Convention in Houston last weekend, I talked with one of the CZ guys in the expo about the chances of this pistol becoming a reality.

He knew exactly what video I was talking about, but had said that this pistol was only a proof of concept, and that there were no plans to put it into production....

I'm a big CZ fan, and wouldn't hesitate adding a CZ 10mm to my armory.  Disappointing to hear the news from the rep.

Time to write the letters.  Let them know that there would be sales if they made it happen, even if it were a limited run.

Well, isn't the Match a SA only gun? It's primarily set up for competitive shooting events (IDPA/IPSC).

This one has the traditional CZ set-up of DA/SA for EDC, duty use or home defense (just like the original "CZ-inspired" Bren Ten).

Same with having a fixed rear sight instead of some cheesy Euro-version of a Millet adjustable like Tanfoglio uses.  'Course, I'd prefer that CZ use, or at least offer the option of, one of the newer designs of Tritiun combat sights, like you find nowadays on upscale 1911s.

Still, on their first foray into the 10mm-world, CZ is going to want to aim for as large a user-market as possible.

Address please?

There's a serious dearth of double stack 10mm handguns on the market.

I will e-mail as well. Like to see it in a decocker model. Nickel too.

It looks like it has potential. I would like to know what ammo he was using.

Edit: On second viewing, I noticed you could hear the trigger reset. This is something I have never noticed on a semi auto pistol before.

[sqlbullet]

I can hear it on all mine if I focus on keeping the trigger back, wait and then deliberately release it.  I notice it clearly in dry fire practice when I rack the slide with the trigger still down to re-cock.  Usually I don't notice it when actually shooting, unless I really try.

Got a reply back from CZ.
My comment was that a 10mm platform in a model 97 or 97BD would make a great addition to the CZ line up for us 10mm shooters.
Response was from Zach Hein CZUSA.
I agree completely. We built a 10mm 97 to show to the factory,but with the way demand is right now,pushing them to bring out new models is very difficult.Ill keep at them and hopefully we'll be able to make it happen.

[DM1906]

That would be awesome, but I'm not holding my breath. If they make one, I'll own one. CZ makes some of the finest pistols, carbines and rifles in the world. Mine are top notch.

Well, since CZ owns Dan Wesson, and Dan Wesson makes 10mm's this is the way I went.

[pacapcop]

Very nice. We are just looking for the SA/DA 97 platform. Again, nice pistol. Kind of has that 1006 look I might add.
